what do we think of white jeans?

I've been mulling over buying white jeans to look a bit more summery but still be warm in the chilly Scottish summers. I bought these today and they fit perfectly but I'm just not sure if the are all wrong!? I'm a size 8 and tall if that helps?

Sorry but just wrong!

mrsravelstein · 13/05/2011 20:27

i wouldn't wear them with those shoes, but no not wrong at all, channel liz hurley... one of the benefits of being a size 8 is being allowed to wear white jeans!

Not with my irregular menstrual cycle, no

the Witch creeps up on me when I'm least expecting it

Not the answer you're looking for, is it? Sorry

i think they're great - on slim people white jeans look really good - i wish i was one of them! Go for it and enjoy the sun! Grin

I adore white jeans! And think they're fab for spring/summer and actually can be pretty flattering.

Meggles76 · 13/05/2011 20:30

A Size 8. Tall. Go for it!!

headfairy · 13/05/2011 20:31

A bit too Liz Hurley for me.

ElizabethHurley · 13/05/2011 20:33

Fabulous, darling. Fabulous.

Always.

LifeInTheSlowLane · 13/05/2011 20:38

If you are a size 8 and tall you can get away with anything!! White jeans just about ok, white linen trousers .... eeek

HerBeX · 13/05/2011 20:43

White jeans are cool. They are not Wrong. Flaunt them. Grin

Love white jeans - they're brilliant, cool and casual.

Invest in some bleach though, if you're anything like me, you'll need it!

Fine if you live in Billericay Wink

MrsCampbellBlack · 13/05/2011 21:17

I do love our white jeans threads - theres always the same few of us who love them Grin

Have I missed the' I hate maxi dresses and only supermodels can wear them thread yet' - as I do love that one too Wink I was told last year on here that I was deluded if I thought I looked nice in one as only 5ft tall.

And yes - size 8 and tall - hey you'll look fab in anything Smile

Oh and today I bought a strapless dress and I know how much people love them on mn Wink

CountBapula · 13/05/2011 21:39

OMG, I was just looking at those online yesterday! I have them in navy and black and agree the fit is fantastic.

I was wondering about white jeans though. They're kinda trashy but hot at the same time. I might have to go for it :)

Jaspants · 13/05/2011 22:15

I like them, and the shoes, although I think the model is wearing a size too small as her toes are hanging out the front.

No to the cropped jeans

Yes to the OP white jeans. I think I'll be getting them for myself now, thanks! Are the jeans you linked to the same in UK stores?

sahm3 · 14/05/2011 16:09

i think they are just fine in summer months, just dont do a Liz Hurley and wear them all year!

WhatsWrongWithYou · 14/05/2011 16:13

Absolutely fine yes - as are the cropped ones.

ManicAnnie · 14/05/2011 16:52

Love white jeans, but you have to dress them down, not up, imo. So:
Worn with flats and layering or a tunic = GOOD.
Worn with anything too tight or tarty, or heels of any sort = Too Liz (Hurley/MacDonald etc).

bigTillyMint · 14/05/2011 17:29

You'd look great in them, but I agree, dress them down rather than up.

tulpe · 14/05/2011 18:07

Yes they are fab and you should wear them (and I may well buy myself some too. Despite not being tall. But am a size 8)

Agree with ManicAnnie - dress down for daytime. However, if you do decide to wear in the evening then heels and a dressy top would be fine just don't do tight top.

I like white cropped cotton trousers but not cropped jeans.
